Merry Christmas everyone!!
This year Christmas has fallen on a Sunday.
This week is special since the Top 10 is all Christmas/Holiday themed songs.
So if you were wanting to check out the current singles don’t worry some of the songs from chart #87 would re-enter next week.
This year Montreal’s Belgrave has the Christmas #1 in my singles chart.
Trying to make this all Canadian with two non-Canadian acts in the Top 10.
Yes there are two acts that covered the same song but I wanted to be diverse.
Some songs are featured in the free compilation Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada III.
Wishing all the best of the holidays!
